	Snap (American football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The option to play the ball with the foot was preserved, however, for several decades, although by early in the 20th Century it was restricted to kicking the ball forward.
		Canadian football used the rugby scrimmage unaltered until near the end of the 19th Century, when, regionally at first, under the influence of the American scrimmage, the number of players in the scrimmage was limited to three -- a "centre scrimmager" bound on either side by props called "side scrimmagers".
		Beginning regionally again and universally by 1923, the 3-man scrimmage was reduced to the centre alone, the number of players on the field being reduced commensurately from 14 to 12, and a snap rule and neutral zone similar to that of American football was adopted.

		There is only one snap in each scrimmage play, then only one play could be made that requires an interval between the snap and the action of that play.

		The Rams fumbled the ball away on each of their next two offensive plays, resulting in a missed field goal attempt and Stanton's second touchdown of the game, a four-yard jaunt that gave the Cougars a commanding 28-0 lead with 2:46 left in the opening quarter.
